When does kitchen installation make sense in Greater London?

If the kitchen in your Greater London home is twenty years old, with tired doors and worn worktops, a full installation renews everything in one planned job.

When a Greater London kitchen needs new electrics, plumbing and tiling as well as units, one contract keeps those trades in the right order.

What does kitchen installation in Greater London include?

Every kitchen is different, so we confirm the scope in writing. Most jobs of this kind include:

  • Free survey visit, measurements and an itemised written quote
  • Removal and disposal of the old kitchen, with gas and electrics made safe
  • First-fix electrics and plumbing for the new layout
  • Base, wall and tall units fixed, levelled and secured to the wall
  • Worktops cut, jointed and sealed, or templated for stone
  • Sink, tap and integrated appliances fitted and connected
  • Gas hobs connected only by Gas Safe registered engineers
  • Panels, plinths, cornice, splashback and a final check before handover

How much does kitchen installation cost in Greater London?

These guide ranges include VAT at 20% and are adjusted for prices in London. We confirm your price in writing after a free survey visit. Prices in London usually run above the national guide, mainly because labour and parking cost more.

Kitchens in homes across Greater London

The housing mix across Greater London includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces, conversion flats, mansion block flats and 1930s semis, so no two kitchen fits are quite alike. Victorian terraces often have a narrow galley beside the side return, while conversion flats and mansion blocks usually fit the kitchen into a small room or along one living-room wall.

London's mains water is hard, so limescale builds quickly on taps and boiling water taps, and a scale-reducing filter is worth planning in. Permit parking, red routes and flats without lifts are common, so parking suspensions, stair carries and lift bookings may need arranging before delivery day.

Opening a narrow galley into the dining room or side return is one of the most common terrace projects in London. Leasehold flats often call for a full kitchen in a small space, worked around building rules on noise, working hours and waste.

Rules for kitchen installation in Greater London

Fitting a new kitchen does not need planning permission in England. Listed building consent may be needed if the building is listed, and a new vent through the outside wall of a flat may need planning permission and the freeholder's consent. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and new circuits or a new consumer unit are notifiable under Part P, so they are certified through a competent person scheme or building control. New extraction should be designed to Approved Document F rates (about 30 litres per second for a hood ducted outside), a refit should not leave ventilation worse than before, and only Gas Safe registered engineers may connect a gas hob.

Conservation areas are widespread across London, so a new extractor vent on a front wall may need permission, and leaseholders usually need the freeholder's written consent first.

Before you start

  • Plan for one to two weeks without a working kitchen; a microwave, kettle and a temporary sink elsewhere make it easier.
  • Book the survey before you order a kitchen, so the plan is checked against real wall lengths, window heights and service positions.
  • Order stone worktops for templating as soon as the base units are fixed, as fabrication usually takes one to two weeks.
  • If the house was built before 2000, consider an asbestos survey before strip-out, especially with textured ceilings or old floor tiles.
  • If your house in Greater London is older, ask for the walls to be checked for level; out-of-true walls change how units and worktops are scribed.
  • Clear the room and the route to it before fitting day, and arrange somewhere in your Greater London home for a kettle and microwave.

Questions about kitchen installation in Greater London

How much does kitchen installation cost in Greater London?

Guide prices in Greater London are about £2,000 to £3,200 including VAT for a small kitchen of 5 to 10 units, fit only. The final price depends on the size of the kitchen and what is moving, and is set out in an itemised written quote.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

Yes. We carry out kitchen installation across Greater London, including Brent, Islington, Westminster and Bexley. Every job starts with a free survey visit and an itemised written quote.

What order does a kitchen installation follow?

The usual sequence is strip-out, any structural work, first-fix electrics and plumbing, plastering, base and wall units, worktops, second fix of sockets, sink, tap and appliances, then splashbacks, flooring and decorating. Some floors go down before the units and some after, depending on the floor type, which we agree at the survey.

How long does it take to install a kitchen?

Most kitchens take three to twelve days on site to fit, depending on the number of units and whether services are moving. Allow one to three weeks overall once electrics, plumbing, tiling and flooring are included, plus one to two weeks between templating and fitting if you choose stone worktops.

Do I need building regulations approval for a new kitchen?

Usually only for parts of the job. Fitting units does not need approval, but new electrical circuits are notifiable in England and Wales, removing a load-bearing wall needs approval everywhere, and in Scotland structural work needs a building warrant. Gas work must always be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
